Experimental TypographyCD Cover, Booklet and Gig Poster for the Bright Eyes Album "Fevers and Mirrors"

We were asked to design the Cover of a CD by using 3D-/experimental typography for the band's name (it was not allowed to use simple printed characters).I picked the album "Fevers and Mirrors" of the Indie Band "Bright Eyes". To me, the lyrics have a lot to do with time in general, mechanism of time, strong feelings and calendars. So I went to several flee markets, bought a bunch of old mechanical clocks and built my lettering with toothed wheels.For the booklet I photographed different "tools of time" and clock parts. I also tried to reflect the song's meanings in typography.
